Chapter Letter – 17.03.24
Lincoln Cathedral

In a change from the normal spiritual reflection, this Chapter Letter starts with a more institutional focus. This week has seen a small, but fundamental change in the arrangements for the governance and management of the cathedral with the cathedral becoming a registered charity. This is a result of the provisions of the Cathedral Measure 2021 which required every cathedral to revise its Constitution and Statutes and register so that it is dual regulated by both the Church Commissioners (as in the past) and the Charity Commission… Download the Chapter letter – 17.03.24 ..read more

I confess that I have only been an Anglican for 20 years but my great-grandmother was a staunch ‘pisky’ (the affectionate term for a member of the Scottish Episcopal Church), a fact I only learned after I was ordained. One of the fascinating features of Anglicanism is that it represents unity with diversity and still manages to be held together as the One Church, the Body of Christ. As part of my academic study leading to Ordination, I conducted a piece of research in West Wales where I interviewed members of rural churches about their beliefs and practices. One participant stands out in m ..read more

On Sunday 25 February, the sad news of the death of Patrick, Lord Cormack, was announced. The Revd Canon Nick Brown, Interim Dean of Lincoln said, “As with so many, I am saddened by the death of Patrick, Lord Cormack.  Beyond his many wider interests and contributions to society, was Patrick’s contribution to the life and work of the cathedral.  Patrick was enthusiastic in engaging others to support the life of the cathedral – especially in his role as Deputy High Steward, a role in which he successfully raised funds for a number of projects connected with the cathedral. “As well ..read more

‘Our care for God’s creation’ For the past two weeks we have been hosting the installation ‘Gaia’ in the crossing of the cathedral (and there is still a week in which you can visit it if you have not yet had a chance to spend time in the cathedral using it as a source for prayer and reflection). It has provided a thought-provoking focus for reflections on both the wonder of creation (of which we are a part), and the way in which creation is marred by our own activity – by our failure to honour the glory of God that is revealed in creation, and to which we are called. It was particularly app ..read more

Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,’ says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 3:1) When I tell people I live in Lincoln, the response I get is usually a reference to the Cathedral; Lincoln is in many ways synonymous with our wonderful place of worship. It is therefore a huge privilege for me to have been given this opportunity to serve here for a short time and I have gained some unique insights behind the scenes as I have come to appreciate the major contribution of the dedicated teams of staff and volunteers w ..read more

Luke Jerram’s Gaia arrives in Lincoln on Monday 5 February and will be on display until Sunday 25 February. Measuring seven metres in diameter, Gaia features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface*. The artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet on this scale, floating in three-dimensions. Gaia will be suspended under the central tower in the Cathedral, which will provide a spectacular backdrop. The installation creates a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of ..read more

‘A light for all people’ As we travel through the season of Epiphany the theme of light remains prominent in our worship. The Magi follow the light of the star to guide them to the Christ-child (as we celebrated on 6th January), and Simeon proclaims that Christ is the light to lighten all peoples when Christ is presented in the Temple (which we celebrate on 2nd February). As the days begin to gradually lengthen, the mornings become a little less dark and the evenings a little brighter – given a sign of the spring that, though still far off, will nonetheless come. Whilst our focus is still f ..read more
